Jet pack Re-Fuelled Live arcade

[Steven W]

Really impressed with this. Worth the money for £3.50.

I spent hours playing the spectrum version back in the day, which you can play on this version.

The new version is addictive but fiendishly difficult. I'm at level 20, but hear there are around 150 levels.

A great XBL arcade game, multiplayer is brill!

I havent given multiplayer a go but got recommended this and then ended up buying it, can't clear level 7 myself! Your almost right with the level count there is an achievement for completing them all. It will be a mission to get:

"You can stop now!

Complete all 128 levels in single player Refuelled"

Managed to get the quarter million achievement, Multiplayer is good fun, but I played againest a few random people yesterday and the majority quit early 'cos I was beating them

The only question I've got is how to get the Infection (play with another Infected player on X-box Live) achievement - nothing in the instructions about what an infected player is?!?

Managed to get the half million achievement, Multiplayer is good fun, but I played againest a few random people yesterday and the majority quit early 'cos I was beating them

I was wondering the same thing, got no idea.

I struggled to get 250,000 but got it now. I found that level 17 onwards it gets ridiculously hard.

Ooh, I'll download the demo now

I really should check out the market place on live more often, absolutely loved Jet Pack on the Spectrum!

I've had a look around, and the rumour is someone at Rare is 'infected' and will start playing online and infect anyone they play against, and anyone that they play against will become infected, and anyone that they play against, etc...

so (if true) you'd need to play against one of these infected players to get the achievement (which may be extremely hard to find, and is worth 0 points anyway).

Edit:

I've found the easiest way to get points is to load the rocket with all but the last fuel cell and then carry that last fuel cell around (careful not to pass over the ship) when you collect items until your air almost expires - then get back to the ship and complete the level.

Why carry the fuel cell?

I don't know if you've noticed, but if you get hit when carrying the fuel you don't die, you simply drop the cell. so pick it back up and carry on collecting.

Interesting, I didn't know about that fuel thing! I also noticed that online people keep pinching my fuel from me, but I have no idea how they do it.

YOU HAVING A LAUGH!?

The Ultimate games were some of my favourite. Ever. If they ever do Underwurlde (sp?) again I'll be in heaven.

Off to XBL I go...

edit: it's BRILLIANT!

[Steven W]

Now on Level 28, this is better than GRAW 2 Well, for different reasons. This and WORMS are totally addictive XBL games.

If you shoot the fuel cell they're carrying enough times or let off a smart bomb close enough then they should drop it.
